I discovered spider mites in my grow tent 4x4x6 HPS 600 . I tried water flushing outside, alcohol/water spray, trimmed to reduce mite population. Still they persisted. I harvested the Mango Xl a little early and am now about 2 weeks to harvest stavia and found the start of webs. Yikes! I added 1500 ladybugs 🞠this week but most ran for cover in the dark creases and crevices of the tent. So I moved the plant outside, hosed it down, captured as many ladybugs as could be found in the tent and rehomed them onto the plant. They seem to appreciate this move, less light, more humidity. Here’s some pix of their brunch this morning. I’ll move plant and bugs back into the tent tonight and hope they continue to eat. The plant will not be a big producer but I decided to go to the end to see how this works.
